Im in the market to buy a set of 1.5 roller rockers. is there any write up on how to change them? is there anything i should pay further attention to? its a 96 motor with a few boltons...any suggestions are welcomed...thanks...dan

 

Well first off, stock LT1's have 1.5 rockers. If you want performance you should go with 1.6 roller rocker. Pro Mags seems to be very popular. If you go with Self Aligning rocker (SA), it will be easier but generally wont handle tons of power. NSA (Non self aligning) rockers are stronger and require you to buy retainers, locks, and guideplates. So depending on how much power you want in the future will decide if you want SA or NSA. Hope this helps

 

thanks for the response. pro mags are exactly what im looking for. nothing too powerful...just get the job done smoothly. ill take a look into it. thanks for your help.

 

also while your doing it should upgrade to 7/16" studs- theyre cheap and screw right into stock heads- just make sure you get 7/16 rockers- (same price as regular)

 

i ran a little search on ebay and google for Pro Mag roller rockers (1.6 self aligning) and came with no results. any page you guys recommend to pick up a set? thanks

 

www.summitracing.com then search promagnum rockers .....and like others have mentioned, pick up a set of (16) ARP 7/16 studs (about 30 bucks) while your at it, they're much stronger and flex way less than the wimpy 3/8 studs and rocker set-up.......

 

I have also heard of people using the crane gold's as well. they are a product that I would buy. Not to steal the thread, but has someone checked out the Jegs roller rockers? they seem waayy too similar to another big name brand and are quite a bit cheaper.
